I think it’s safe to say that I have become somewhat of a game connoisseur (snob), and after playing Singularity I could not help but write a harsh review. Not even 10 minutes into this game and I had already spotted several things that had been flat out copied (stolen) from some of my favorite… Continue reading →

For those of you who don’t know, you can find some pretty good games on the cheap on Xbox Live Arcade. We’ve mentioned before that $15 can buy quality games that can be as good if not better than retail boxed games. Now we can add another must buy to that list: Costume Quest. Even though… Continue reading →

With so many details to love about Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, the moment that really struck me is one of the most intangible yet core elements that games seem to be missing these days. Right in the middle of my adventure when I successfully fended off another horde of mechs in destructive slow motion… Continue reading →

Before you begin reading this review, I want to make something very clear. If you didn’t like the original Dead Rising or the recent prequel Dead Rising: Case Zero, you are not going to like this game. Simple as that. New additions to the Dead Rising formula make the sequel feel relatively fresh, but not a… Continue reading →

Remember back in the days of yore when game companies only produced games that came out on one system and one system alone? I believe they called those type of games, exclusive. Yeah, not happening much anymore. One of the greatest titles known to man, Mass Effect 2, is bringing its talents to Sony and coming… Continue reading →

Are you indifferent to the demilitarized sites of a nuclear meltdowns? Can you shoot a gun and/or fight for your life on a day to day basis? Do you like vodka? Does a new career opportunity with endless financial possibilities sound great? If you answered yes to any of the above, you might be perfect for an… Continue reading →

Being a big fan of the first Crackdown game, I was one of the first to run out and buy the game. Let me start off by saying that since this game is mostly a reskin of the first, its difficult for me to recommend spending 60 bucks on this. If you are on a… Continue reading →

When a game gets its notoriety for being “the hardest game,” it turns a few heads. Last year, Atlus gambled where Sony didn’t and decided to release Demon’s Souls in North America. It was said to bring about a challenge level the likes of which we haven’t seen for decades. While this intrigued me, it… Continue reading →

I either missed the initial wave of excitement about Alan Wake when it was announced at E3 in 2005 or I had completely forgotten about it since it was so long ago. My discovery of the game came in 2009’s E3 presentation, where the video footage absolutely blew me away. I could immediately tell that… Continue reading →

Isaac Clarke may have survived his harrowing first encounter with the Necromorphs, but it doesn’t look like his sanity was as fortunate. In the reveal trailer “Dementia” for Dead Space 2 with the help of Rorschach testing we dive into the mind of Isaac as he relives the nightmare of the incidents from 2008’s horrifying… Continue reading →

Just finished my first race on the newly released demo for Split/Second. I don’t like the taste. On paper, this game is so very promising for the action fan. Basically, you are racing through action movie set pieces that are setup for ridiculous stunts (explosions, bridge destructions, buildings falling onto the track) straight out of… Continue reading →

Let’s get this out of the way. God of War 2 was the crowning achievement of my PS2 gaming days. I am a huge Kratos fan. I’m big enough fan of the niche of the action genre that GoW created, that I shelled out cash for the recent soulless knock-off, Dante’s Inferno. I held off… Continue reading →
